Chapter 11

Teyla stormed down one of the white hallway of Atlantis. There was no stopping her, no matter what Sheppard was saying while running after her. She blocked him out - like she blocked everything around her out. She was on a mission to find Ronon and anyone in her way would have to be crazy to try and stop her. Sheppard finally caught up to the determined beauty and grabbed her by the arm lightly. He pulled her towards him but jumped a little at the sight of her eyes. They were full of fire, he hadn't seen anyone's eyes that lit up since he met Ronon.

"Slow down," Sheppard said slowly while holding on to her arm, "Now... Where is Ronon?"

She took a frustrated breath in and let it out annoyed, "He is on a planet called Nayeli. He told me the first day we met that after all the Wraith were destroyed - if he could never go back to Sateda - he would very much like to go to Nayeli." With the same determined look, Teyla never took her eyes off of Sheppard. Sheppard sighed and looked down at the ground.

"Okay, lets get him," he said letting go of her arm.

"NO!" Teyla warned, "I must and shall do it alone Colonel." She gave him one final stern look and returned to her formal speed. They both entered the control room out of breath.

"What on earth is going on here?" Elizabeth asked puzzled by the sight of her two team mates.

"Teyla knows where Ronon is," Sheppard blurted out while he gasped for breath. Elizabeth's eyes widened with excitement.

"But how?" She approached Teyla with a huge smile on her face. Sheppard didn't give Teyla a chance to explain, "He told her once."

"He has to be found Dr. Weir," Teyla began to explain.

"Hold on a minute," Sheppard jumped in, "Yes we have to find him, but Elizabeth will you please explain to our friend here that we have to find him as a team, not just Teyla going to find him alone!" Sheppard stood there waiting for Elizabeth to give a strict order that the team should assemble. He was confident that she would be on his side; after all she was his girlfriend.

"I think that's a wonderful idea," Elizabeth said leaving Sheppard with a content smile upon his face, "Teyla should go alone." The joker-like smile disappeared from his face,

"What?"

Elizabeth turned around, a smile playing at the corner of her lip, "Well, what would be so bad about that?" She maneuvered away from them, holding a brown clipboard in her hand. Sheppard was stunned, "Wait!" He exclaimed as he rushed over to her. He swerved in front of the shorthaired woman.

She stopped in her tracks and looked up at him. "Well, John," she calmly began, "she looks extremely determined to go alone. I'm a woman... I can tell these things." She slipped by him and continued towards one of the controls. She stopped mid tracks, "Look John, please tell these guys what planet it is and we will see if there is any possible danger."

"Elizabeth, I refuse to let her go alone!" John ordered from behind her. Elizabeth turned and started to walk towards him. "What is wrong with you Elizabeth? You're acting strange." he asked.

She smiled sweetly, "Nothing," she said in a singsong voice and winked at him before leaving to talk to Teyla.

She walked over to Teyla who was pacing back and forth, rubbing her hands together nervously. Elizabeth smiled at the young woman, "Teyla lets go to my office and talk while they find the address of the planet." Teyla gave her a quick unsure smile and they made their way to Elisabeth's office.

Elizabeth sat down in her chair while Teyla sat across from her. "Teyla, I know you want to go find Ronon on your own, but it might be too dangerous," Elizabeth tried to enlighten the Athosian woman. Teyla searched the office trying to avoid Elizabeth's eyes.

She finally glanced at Elizabeth and bit her lip, "I understand Dr.Weir," she looked down at the hands in her lap, "but it is my fault that he left." Elizabeth looked at Teyla; she could tell she was holding in her feelings and trying to give her as little information as possible. Elizabeth smirked at the thought of Ronon and Teyla together. She understood what she was going through. The desperation for the him to understand her feelings and the confusion that comes along with it. She got out of her chair and walked over to Teyla's side of the table and sat on the edge of her table, "Teyla, Ronon cares about you very deeply I can tell." Teyla looked up at her smiling friend.

"Thank you Elizabeth," Teyla returned the smile, "but Ronon is my friend and nothing more." Elizabeth sighed, "Teyla you can trust me, I won't say anything if you tell me what you really feel about Ronon." Teyla looked away from her, "He is the only person here that I can relate to." Teyla got up, "And I feel nothing but friendship for him." Elizabeth was about to protest but the static of her radio interrupted her.

"Elizabeth we found the address," Sheppard said over the radio.

"We'll be right there," Elizabeth answered while giving Teyla a nod of agreement. They stormed out of the office and back into the Gate room where Sheppard was waiting on them.

It was decided that John and Teyla would be the only ones going. The planet seemed safe enough, and since Teyla was bent on going alone having at least one more person with her was a reasonable compromise. She didn't show any signs that she was opposed to the idea of him going anymore. She reminded herself that finding Ronon was the only important thing.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road," Sheppard said enthusiastically while the Gate opened. She took a deep breath and they both jumped in

They arrived to a forest that was extremely green and reminded them too much of the surroundings of the last mission they were on - they even half expected Ellia to jump out at them.

"Okay, remember…" John looked back and forth between Teyla and the path in front of them, "Stay close." Teyla looked at him from the corner of her eye. She really just wanted to run off and find Ronon herself. It's not that she didn't want his help, but she felt guilty at the fact that Ronon left because of her. She prayed that they were on the right planet. Ronon told her that this planet was quite calming when you get used to it. It was one planet that the Wraith never followed him to. Even though he found that a comfort, he didn't embrace the feeling. He said that the Wraith were unpredictable and even if it seemed that they weren't coming they eventually would come and get you.

"Okay, listen" Sheppard began as he turned to face the young woman, "Maybe, we should split up just a little bit."

She raised her eyebrow in question, "Umm..okay?"

Sheppard turned away from her and took a few steps before he turned back around. "But Teyla," Sheppard warned, "not too far and check in with me every five minutes or so."

"Yes mother," Teyla teased himbefore walking the other way.

She walked by the tall trees surrounding her, it seemed a little eerie that everything was quiet. It was about five in the afternoon and the sun didn't even set yet; however there wasn't much light showing through the branches above her. After a good ten minutes or so and a good hundred 'Ronon' yells later, Teyla remembered that she was supposed to check in with John.

"Hello, Colonel, do read?" Teyla tried to establish communication with John. After a few seconds all she could hear was static and a mumble of words that sounded like John.

She could make out, "Yes." However, everything else he said came out in a jumble of sounds. She tried once again, but now all she got out of the communication was that John was safe. Or… At least she though he was; she wasn't quite sure. His voice didn't cause any need for alarm.

"Colonel, I don't know if you can hear me but," She raised her voice, "I AM FINE, I REPEAT, I AM OKAY." She once again got a jumble of static, and after a while confirmed the words: "I'm okay too." That was the last of their conversation. They couldn't establish radio contact at all after that. Teyla tried one more time, "Can you hear me Colonel?" Just then she caught a sudden movement behind one of the trees. Instantly she raised her rifle but hoped it was Ronon. She called his name out hoping to get a response; nothing. She slowly and carefully made her way to the tree.

"Hello, anyone there?" She called out once more while raising her rife up in the direction of the movement. She stood just a few feet away from the tree but heard a rustle behind another tree just a few feet away from the one she was standing from. She saw a blurred image that looked like a man and before she could think she broke into a run.

She was running after someone who she had lost sight of already. All she had to go off of was instinct. She ran in between trees dodging every other tree and jumping over rotten logs and huge rocks. She was running her fastest but stopped when she got to a small clearing. She wasn't sure where to go anymore. She stood there paying close attention to any sudden movement and there it was. Just a little bit ahead of her, she saw it again. Once more she broke into a run, still out of breath and a little dizzy. The injury behind her neck, although healed, was causing some discomfort. But it soon passed and she continued on, now actually seeing the man being perused every few feet. Even though he was far away, she had a gut feeling that it was Ronon. However, if it was Ronon… why was he running from her? The forest now became less dense so she could actually see in front of her without a tree in her way. However she was now running right next to a cliff and as her vision made a way to a tree on top of the small cliff she neglected to see a small rock right in her path. She saw a shadow move behind the tree and before she knew what happened her foot and rock met. She flew straight down towards the ground. She was lucky in the sense that the ground under her wasn't hard, but unlucky in the sense that the ground was actually mud.

The mud was a couple of inches deep. It was shallow enough for her not to have to swim in it, but deep enough to get completely covered in it. She was covered in the wet brown dirt. It was in her hair, on her face, and all over her uniform. It even managed to get inside her shirt and it ran down her chest - slowly making its way down her shirt. It was cold, and made her shiver as it slowly slid down her skin. She got up on her knees and tried to remove the mud from her eyes and the rest of her face. She was startled by a thunderous and heartily laugh above her. She looked up to see Ronon cracking up on top of the same hill and next to the same tree that detracted her. He was still laughing and it got louder now while he was holding his sides.

"RONON!" Teyla exclaimed, half in embarrassment and half in anger. He stopped laughing as soon as she called out his name. He straightened himself out and jumped off the small cliff with ease. He walked over to her, still sitting in the mud, in a very serious manner. He extended his hand to help her up but she looked up at him frowning. She indicated hostility, he was sure of that, but he still offered her his hand. She refused him her hand; she wasn't about to take his hand after he laughed at her just a few second ago.

"I can get up myself," She said as she got up and walked by him with her nose in the air.

Really, the truth was that if you were to see them first hand you would think they were two little kids who had a crush on each other but showed it by calling each other names. He turned around on his heal very smoothly and faced her.

"So, what are you doing here?" Ronon asked puzzled. She looked up at him from trying to get the mud off of her.

"What?" She frowned at him, "I am here to bring you back home!"

He sighed and mused at her while she was rubbing off the mud; which wasn't coming off by the way.

"Well, sorry to break it to you Teyla," he began as he walked past her, "But this is my home now."

She was taken back by what he was saying. She spun around and ran after him. She placed her self in his path and made him stop in his tracks.

"Ronon," she looked up at him, "I came all this way to get you!" He looked down at her small figure covered in mud and raised an eyebrow full of confusion.

She didn't budge from where she was standing, "I'm not leaving until you come with me!" With that, she took him by the wrist and made her way back to where she came from. He tried to break free from her grip and it of course resulted in a fight. He hit her in her shoulder just enough for her to let go. She let go but she quickly made sure that she laid a blow to his ankles. He didn't see her legs coming at all and was soon on the ground. However, he was just as quick as she was. He grabbed her leg and made her fall right next to him. They were both on their backs and Teyla was the first to strike with a quick blow to his stomach with one tight fist. She slightly knocked the wind out of him but he was quickly back in action and placed himself on top of her. He had her hands pinned above her and he enjoying watching her try to struggle free.

"What are gonna do now mud-monster?" he asked playfully then busted out laughing. She laughed at him coyly; her face still covered in now hardened mud. She flashed her perfectly white teeth right before she made her move. Before he knew what hit him, she was now on top his back with his hand twisted behind him. She had him pinned but not for long, he threw her off quickly. They continued tumbling and pinning each other on the ground. Neither of them took notice of the mud that Teyla fell into to just a few minutes earlier. With one final push Teyla threw Ronon off and he landed right into the mud. Ronon grabbed her waist and made sure to take her down with him. Now she was on top of him as he laid in the mud. He was covered head to toe, not to mention Teyla, who had added another layer of mud onto her. They sat in the mud before they busted up laughing. Now Teyla understood why Ronon was laughing at her earlier. They were laughing so hard that their voices projected louder and louder. Some of the animals scattered from the sheer joy that their laughter let out. Teyla ended up holding her sides from the pain caused by her uncontrollable laughter. Ronon was the first to sober up from the drunkenness of the moment and Teyla soon regained control of her laughter as well.

"Well," He said quietly looking into her mud covered face. Somehow she looked extremely beautiful to him. The mud blended in perfectly with her light brown hair and chestnut eyes. She put on her familiar wide smile; flashing him the most beautiful set of teeth. It was perfect he thought to himself; she wasn't a commoner - she was an angel. His angel, he was sure of that. Her smile faded and her lips blended into the mud as she became serious. He still didn't remove his gaze from her face, even when he noticed her turn away in embarrassment. She cleared her throat, loud enough to get his attention and snap him out of his trance.

"Ronon, I believe we should be getting back." She said softly, while straightening her body in an authoritative manner. He didn't remover his eyes from her face but his eyes did - he removed the dazed look he had worn and replaced it with a look of pain. He looked away from her and pushed his heavy body out of the mud. She watched him get up and start to walk away. He uncomfortably rolled his shoulder back, as if he was in slight pain and continued walking. She also pushed herself out of the mud and ran after him.

"Ronon!" She called after him desperately. "Stop!" He actually listened and stopped but he didn't turn around. The sun barely hit him as he stood there with his shoulders low and his head slightly down - not saying a single word. Teyla walked up to his large back and stood behind him. She placed her right palm in the middle of his back, "Please Ronon, come with me." He didn't answer her, he just stood there in silence. It seemed like hours compared to the few seconds that they stood in that position. She felt his body shift and she removed her hand as he turned around to face her.

He let out a deep breath, and Teyla thought for a second she won his feelings over. But she was mistaken, "Teyla, I'm not going back! There is nothing there for me. This is where I belong, I'm sorry." She looked up at him, her face full of disappointment, but she wasn't going to giving up that easy.

"Im not leaving unless you return with me!" She stood up to him, head high. He admired her proud face, "Fine then have it your way." He shrugged as he turned around once more and started walking away.

She clenched her fists together in anger and walked after him. She was quiet the whole time. She silently walked behind him as he moved swiftly through the woods. He seemed to know the woods very well just from spending a few days here. She was puzzled about where exactly he was taking her but it was going to get dark soon, so wherever they were going, it must have been better.

They didn't walk far although it was a complicated route. She wasn't sure where she had come from anymore and was perplexed how he knew his way back at all! "Ronon?" She finally spoke up breaking their tension, "Where exactly are we going?" He didn't stop or turn around. All he did was let out was a simple grunt, "Home!"

As soon as he said home, they stepped through a small opening covered up by bushed that he had split apart. She gasped at the sheer perfection of the sight she was witnessing. It was a large opening surrounded by thick woods completely encircling them. She stepped forward to get a better view, all the while Ronon was watching her.

A waterfall stood in front of her, about twenty feet, not too tall. From it ran clear water that filled up a small pool of blueish-green water. Rocks surrounded the pool of water while a few small trees scattered around the rocks. She turned and saw behind her a cave, which she presumed, was Ronon's "home".

The cave wasn't very homely looking, a couple of blankets, a small fire place in the front, and a pot with a backpack next to it. She didn't say anything to him, her expression of disappointment said it all. She smiled at him and tried to play it off, "Lovely." He narrowed his eyebrows and smirked.

"Right," his voice thundered, of course it doesn't take much for his voice to cause an earthquake. He walked past her briskly and disappeared into the dark cave. In a matter of seconds he came back out with a tan towel.

"Here," he tossed it to her and sort of grunted towards it.

"What is this for?" she looked down at the towel and then back up at him.

"See that waterfall," he pointed behind her, "Go wash up, you're covered in mud, the sun will go down within a matter of minutes and it will be too cold later." She began to blush furiously; the mud on her face seemed to start to melt from the heat her body was generating.

"Excuse me!" she finally spoke up in shock, "I will not parade around here naked."

"I won't look at you while you are undressing, I promise," he said very bluntly and sat down on a rock. She believed him, or at least she tried to convince herself he wouldn't look at her undressing. Yet, she had a feeling like she wanted him to watch her.

She shook her head from the thought and walked down the small hill to the water. She looked back nervously to make sure he wouldn't sneak a look at her body. She placed herself behind a large rock and began to rip her clothing off. The wind gently touched her muddy skin and gave her goose bumps. She covered herself shyly and dipped her toes into the water. She felt a single shiver shock through her body. She pulled back her foot and bent down near the water. In her palm, she brought up some water and threw it on her shoulders. She did it repeatedly until her chest and shoulders were accustomed to the water. As her body entered the water, she was cold only for a minute before the water ran smoothly around her body, relaxing her muscles instantly. She swam around a little and closed her eyes at the pleasure of the water surrounding her - washing away her problems along with the mud. She tilted her head back and gently back-stroked through the water. She smiled to herself and gently opened her eyes to look up at the sky, which was a crimson color due to the setting of the sun. Her thought were disrupted however, when she heard the sound of water splashing just a few feet from her. Her head shot up fast and her hands covered her chest while her legs kept her afloat.

"Ronon!" She screamed at the man splashing his face with water. He looked up at her in confusion while kneeling while water dripped of his beard.

"What are you doing?" She exclaimed and felt her whole body warm up once again from the heat that filled up her cheeks. He stood up still looking at her in confusion, "Well, what do you mean 'what am I doing'? I told you it will be too cold to wash the mud off once the sun set!"

She looked at him with her mouth open, still covering her chest; now even more protectively. She began to stutter, "Y-you said you wouldn't look!"

His eyebrows scrunched up in confusion," ...And I didn't. I said that I wouldn't look at you while you were undressing."

She thought it over, he did say that but she thought it meant he wouldn't look at her at all!

"Well..." she started searching for words to express her anger, but she forgot how to talk as he began to take off his shirt. He pulled it over his head gently, to reveal a chiseled chest. His arm muscles were perfectly shaped as he brought the shirt over his head. He dropped it into the water and bent down to wash it. The soft light of the setting sun tantalizingly played on his upper body. It gave him a honey-drown color, similar to how he first looked when they met. Teyla began to feel a tingle in-between her legs at the sight of the exotic warrior. She let her guard down and now used her hands to keep her weakened body afloat. She couldn't take her eyes off of him, she started to stare at him so hard that you would think she would burn a hole through his body at any minute.

"Don't worry, I can't see anything anyway, the water is too dark and I would never invade your privacy." He spoke up and snapped her back to reality.

"Ohh," she said under her breath and continued to tread the water making sure her eyes didn't leer back at him. She kept her eyes on the waterfall fighting the urge to look at his body. With once splash he was in the water. Her head spun around to see nothing but the ripple caused by the aftermath of his body entering. She tried to cover her body up, not truly trusting that he couldn't peak under the water.

"RONON!" She yelled out even though it was clear he couldn't hear much under water. Her eyes frantically scanned the water searching for any movement or at least an air bubble. He emerged all the way at the edge of the pool of water, so far away from her in fact that she felt embarrassed that it even crossed her mind that he would try to sneak a peak at her body. She let her hands once more keep her afloat as she turned her attention to him. She glanced at his shoulder and something green caught her eye. She slowly started to swim towards him, not taking her brown eyes away from his shoulder.

"Ronon what happened?" She was now close enough to see that it was a wound on his back; it looked like he had tried to clean up himself with some type of plant. He turned around to face her, "Ohh, It's nothing I can barley feel it," he gave her a small smile. Of course he could barley feel it, she though to herself, he's been through worse things over the past years of being a Runner. But still, she felt a need to help him clean it up properly. She swam up closer, almost close enough for their bodies to touch. She was still shorter then him, even though they were in the water. He stared down at her, eyes focused, studying her movements. She felt her lips began to tremble and she had a hard time looking away from his beautiful green eyes.

"Umm," she began, "can you please turn around so I can see your wound Ronon." He licked his lip, not seductively, even though she felt a wave of heat flash through her body. She managed to keep herself composed. Ronon turned himself around as she wanted and placed his hands on the rock in front of him. She hesitantly placed her palms on his shoulder blade; she had the urge to run her hands all over his web back. Instead, she let her fingertips lightly glaze the muscles on his back. While she was touching him, Ronon was feeling more and more aroused. He wasn't going to admit it, but it was one of the times in his life that he felt complete. He tried to grip the smooth rock for more support and bent his head back slightly with pleasure. She didn't know what she was doing to him as she left her hands stroke across his back.

"Ohh Ronon," she whispered sadly, "what happened?" She continued to examine his wound, careful not to press too hard for the fear of hurting him. The wound seemed deep, but the plant used to patch it up seemed to stop the bleeding and keep the wound clean. She backed away from him and slowly backstroked - not taking her eyes off of his wound. She left her body sink deeper into the water, leaving only part of her head above water. Everything under her nose was submerged as she continued to float in that exact spot. She watched him let go of the rocks and sink into the water, just as she had just done. He turned around and started to swim towards her. They kept their gazes upon one another and he stopped exactly one inch away from her - his nose practically touching hers. She slightly lifted herself to reveal her lips, which were blue now, and he did the same. He looked down at her lips as they began to tremble. His warm breath fell upon her cold lips and slowly heated them up.

"Your cold," he leered, while admiring her tempting lips. She found it hard to breathe while she looked down at the water, away from his piercing clear eyes. She felt large hands on her arms. Ronon slowly rubbed her arms for warmth under the water and tried to pull her closer to him. Teyla backed away slightly, "Umm… Why don't I take care of that wound? I have some medical supplies in my backpack." He backed away feeling the uncomfortable feelings she radiated.

"Yeah sure, you can go out first, I promise I won't look." With that he turned away staring into the waterfall and this time she didn't stop to question his honesty. She simply went out, cleaned her clothing off with the water, and went to the cave. The only thing that was perfectly clean was her undergarments. She had no choice but to put on Ronon's shirt which was on a rock. She placed her clothing on individual rocks to dry. His long sleeved shirt was large enough to cover her up. It reached all the way past her butt. It was cream-colored with a slit in the collar, that slightly revealed the shape of her breasts. She sat down on the rock near the fire, which was going out. It wasn't very cold, it felt like a warm summer night. Teyla look up at the sky and in a few short minutes the sun went down completely.
